During the 2005 Iranian presidential election with 29 Million voter turn out, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad received only 19% of the votes and came second to Rafsanjani with 21% votes during the first round. However miraculously Ahmadinejad received 62% of votes in the second round with Rafsanjani coming at a distant second with 36% . Election of 2005 represented 63% (29 million) turn out of eligible voters during the first round and 60% (28 million) during the second round.

This year the Islamic Republic has confessed to the record turn out of 39 million or 34% increase comparing to the first round 2005 (39% more than 2nd round 2005) of which 24 Million or 63% was claimed to have voted for Ahmadinejad, 13 Million (34%) for Mousavi, 678 thousand or 1.75% for Rezaii and only 333 thousand (0.86%) to Karoubi.

The mass rallies in support of Mousavi, preceding the election were agreed by most observers to have been a proof that more moderates would participate in the 2009 election , many of them the ones who did not vote or had boycotted the previous ones.

However to the surprise of Iranians and the world the two moderate candidates combined (Mousavi and Karoubi) received 13.5 million or less than 35% of eligible votes which was one percent less that the percentage that Rafsanjani obtained in the last boycotted election!  In other words all the new 11 million new voters which represented 28% of the votes are claimed to have voted for Ahmadinejad!!

The demonstration in the streets of Iran before and after the election are also clear proof that millions of people’s votes were switched in the favor of Ahmadinejad.

The election patch-up was so unconvincing and amateur that while the Islamic Republic Television was supposedly tallying via live computers, the number of votes for Candidate Rezaii suddenly DROPPED by about 45,000 people from 633 thousand to 578 thousand!  (See the still photos above that were taken from the recorded TV program at 9:47 am at 30 million total votes and 1:53 pm at 34 million votes!)

Coup d’état of June 12, 2009 which has lead to the beating, imprisonment and by some reports killing of Iranian voters on a day that now in Iran is called “Black Saturday” is another proof of the illegitimacy of the Islamic Republic leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his hand-selected puppet president Mahmud Ahmadinejad.

As of yesterday the president-elect of Iranians by at least 60% of the vote is Mir-Hossein Mousavi.

I had couple of emails asking me why I have not yet written anything about the results of the Iranian election.  I will if and when “The Supreme Leader” announces Ahmadinejad as winner. As of this moment he congratulated people for more than 80% attendance but has not named Ahmadinejad yet!

Both Mousavi and Karoubi announced that the election result was a sham and neither approved of it. Mousavi stated that he “I will not surrender…remain in the scene” . Also it will be interesting to see what Rezaii, Khatami and Rafsanjani will say.

Then I will write about this in the words of the Mousavi: “Charade”. For now you have the title and a script of the upcoming blog titled “Coup d’eTat of 2009 or Potato Effect?”
Script:

“Ahmadinejad mafia is claiming that the reason for their victory was the high number of votes in the smaller cities and villages. I guess Asieh Amini was right when she wrote that one of her friends on the way to mountain climbing asked a villager why he was voting for Ahmadinejad. He replied: “At least this guy is giving away free potatoes, the other one is even giving away that”. Potato or not this mockery of buying votes , preventing votes and creating votes mixed with manipulation of the communication, texting, internet system of the country complimented with the final show of announcing the winner after 10% of the so called vote count followed with a court order by no one but the famous judge Mortazavi to lock up the doors of Mousavi’s campaign headquarter after filling it with pepper gas and kicking out his communication managers after filling up the streets with riot police everywhere and plain clothes men , is what should go in history as Coup d’eTat of 2009 . “

Whose Coup (Ahmadinejad or Khamenei or both?) I am still waiting to find out.

Some of the quotes from President-elect Mousavi’s message:

“obvious and numerous violations and irregularities in the election day” .
“We will not surrender”
“remain in the scene”
“such an injustice will cause the removal of the legitimacy”
“in case the result is not changed the people will not condescend to the president.”
“I personally strongly protest the many obvious violations and I’m warning I will not surrender to this dangerous charade. The result of what I see from such a performance of dishonest people is shaking the pillars of the system of Islamic Republic and the rule of deception and dictatorship.”
“I ask the officials to stop such a process before it is too late and return to the land of law and preserve people’s rights.”
“People who waited in long lines, they know the composition of the votes and they themselves know who they voted for…They are surprised and are watching the juggling of … officials when they announced the result.”
“Will reveal the secrets behind this dangerous charade”
“I’m warning that I won’t surrender to this manipulation” .
“people won’t respect those who take power through fraud”
“treason to the votes of the people.”
